Discoveries at ESO – Press releases 1985-1990 (January 1991)

This volume contains all ESO Press Releases which were issued between December 1985 and the end of 1990, arranged in ten chapters according to the subject. Because of the selective nature of communications to the Press - not all news is "newsworthy" - they highlight many of the astronomical and technological advances which have taken place at the European Southern Observatory, but it would certainly be wrong to pretend that they do full justice to all accomplishments during this period. The texts and figures are reprinted as they were published and the present document therefore also provides an interesting historical record.
